volunteers|**Time Away was supported by volunteers across a range of**
**specialities to assists with its creation and ongoing**
**development. There is no day to day reliance on volunteers**
**to continue its operation.**| ## **Achievements and Performance** |Summary of the main
achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole.|**In the first year of operation Time Away has built a strong**
**relationship with donor organisations including Sykes**
**Holidays and Forest Holidays. We have been pledged time**
**in over 100 holiday properties which in turn have been**
**provided to the families we support.**
**During this reporting period we awarded 76 holidays to**
**families. At the time of writing this report we have since**
**provided over 133 holidays. Having surveyed these**
**families after their Time Away we established the**
**following:**
-
**75% said they felt better able to deal with their**
**child’s medical needs in the future following their**
**Time Away.**
-
**95% felt that they had more time for each other**
**when compared to being at home.**
-
**86% of families could not have afforded a holiday if**
**it wasn’t for the break awarded by Time Away**
-
**96% of families managed to do things as a family**
**which they do not have time to do at home.**
**Nearly 600 people directly benefitted from Time Away**
**breaks.**
**The impact on society as a whole is varied and wide**
**ranging. Time Away families who have a break often**
**explain how they come back rested and ‘ready to start**
**again’. Caring for a child with serious medical needs is**
**exhausting and we passionately believe that society**
**needs to provide them with a holistic support package. By**
**looking after a struggling family when they need it most,**
**we provide a sense of being cared for and not being left**
**alone to ‘get on with it’. Time Away aim to make the**
**opportunity to have a break feel enjoyable and similar to**
**any families experience of finding and booking a holiday.**
**We provide a choice of properties rather than just one**
**option in one location.**
**By enabling a family time spent together we help create**
**stronger familiar bonds and strengthen the family unit.**
**This gives the family resilience which, in the long run,**
**enables them, not health and social services, to provide**
**the care their child needs long into the future.**| |---|---| ## **Financial Review** |**Financial Review**|| |---|---| |Review of the charity’s financial
